Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: B) The SART should be held as high as possible.
A SART's radar cross-section and signal reception are significantly improved by height. Mounting or holding the SART as high as possible increases its line-of-sight range, making it easier for search vessels or aircraft to detect the signal.
